About the host

Hi! My name is Lisa. I'm from Southern California. I love spending time with my family by the beach. We love walking on weekend mornings to get donuts and coffee and getting together with extended family and friends. I love being a host so much I help out other hosts with their properties.
Why they chose this property
Cardiff is my favorite beach town on the southern CA coast. Its both peaceful and fun, with everything you need just a short walk away. There is great energy, great food, great people, great surf, and great paths to walk or bike. We are a short drive to Legoland, Torrey Pines for golf and Belmont Race Track. It is my families happy place. We hope it will be yours too!
